| I was young and single
|
| Glad that i was free
|
| Had my whole life ahead
|
| There was nothing stoppin me
|
| Headed out to Vegas, me and all my friends
|
| Just a bunch of clowns runnin round in a town of sin
|
| Ten shots later and one double dare
|
| Met a girl said I do in some chapel out there
|
| That was the best mistake I ever made
|
| The Lord works in mysterious ways
|
| Chose a wrong path all my life
|
| But for once I did something right
|
| And just one look in her and I see
|
| Someone smiling down on me
|
| And I’m not too proud to say
|
| That was the best mistake I ever made
|
| Trying to start a family was the last thing we had planned
|
| Till I came home from work
|
| She had her head in her hands
|
| I could see the worry
|
| Through the teardrops in her eyes
|
| She said, «How we gonna do this when we’re barely gettin by?»
|
| We wern’t prepared for all those changes in our world
|
| That all changed when the doctor said it’s a girl
|
| That was the best mistake I ever made
|
| The Lord works in mysterious ways
|
| Chose a wrong path all my life
|
| But for once I did something right
|
| And just one look in her and I see
|
| Someone smiling down on me
|
| And I’m not too proud to say
|
| That was the best mistake I ever made
|
| There’s consequences to the decisions in our lives
|
| Just cause we didn’t mean to do it that don’t mean that it ain’t right
|
| That was the best mistake I ever made
|
| The Lord works in mysterious ways
|
| Chose a wrong path all my life
|
| But for once I did something right
|
| And just one look in her and I see
|
| Someone smiling down on me
|
| And I’m not too proud to say |
